Characteristics

Transportation

Serenada is very car friendly. It is especially convenient to park. Serenada is not very bike-friendly since the bicycling infrastructure is quite bad, and there are a fair number of elevation changes. Traveling as a pedestrian is also not very practical for residents in this community because running day-to-day errands is impractical without a vehicle.

Services

High schools and primary schools are not abundant in Serenada, and consequently not always within a short distance. With respect to eating, in all but a few cases, a car is needed to buy groceries. There are also about 30 restaurants and coffee shops in this part of the Greater Austin metropolitan area.

Character

Serenada is a fairly good community to buy a house in for those who prefer a calm environment. Most areas in Serenada are quiet, as noise from the streets and other parts of the city is rarely an issue - although that is not the case closer to the airport (Georgetown Muni). Parks aren't well-located, which makes them rather challenging to get to. Still, there are approximately 30 green spaces close by for residents to relax in, such as Emerald Springs Park.
